My husband is a podcast junkie. He rarely reads books and doesn’t listen to a ton of music — podcasts are his thing. And he tries to make them my thing, too. But, I love the library and music is my back-up. So, his recommendations go in one ear and out the other.
I read a book a few years ago though, Teaching From Rest by Sarah Mackenzie, and she hosts a podcast. Naturally I was intrigued. And that intrigue quickly led me to fully invest in one, single podcast. It’s Sarah Mackenzie’s and it’s called Read Aloud Revival. I absolutely love it.
Read Aloud Revival is geared toward homeschool families, but it’s truly full of useful information for anyone who wants to build a book culture within their home
Doesn’t Read Aloud Revival sound amazing?
I can assure you, it is. This podcast 100% deserves a spot in your listening queue.
